' l 'trink T 0 all @homc' may concern."

Be 'rt known that I, Wsnrnn Giono.' si citi-A is itto prei/ide 'zi/simple s and, practical' booko the above type which may be conveniently manipulated Without soiling the engereI Y Another object vis rto provide a durable salesboolr, having' 'few-perte, Which'vvill be cheap to'manuiacture. ,Y f j,

A `further object is'toivoid the use ,of can bonized sheets as muc/li as is consistent Witv the other objectsfin'view.

' Further objectsjvvill be inpart obvious and in part pointedl out hereinafter;

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of pei-ts which will be' exemplified. in the lconstruction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the appli cation of which Will be indien-ted in the fol lowing claims. v. i

In the accompanying drawing, wherein is I shown one of various possible embodiments of. this invention, Figure l is a perspective diagrammatic viewfshowing the complete" device ready for operation. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional View of the book in closed 'position Similar reierence characters refer to similar parts 'throughout the different views et l the drawing."

Referring now to the drawingin 1,Jdetaih l denotes a rear cover for o pad 2, prolonged.

in one direction to forni a top oover' and in the opposite direction to form a binding:

edge 4l, rlhe pad comprises a plurality of' sheets bound together along one edge with the cover by ineens of staples 5 and each sheet is separated by two weakening lines or perforations 6 into a plurality of sections or leaves, in the present case, three, 'denoted by the numbers 7 8 and 9, and by u third weakening line l0 near the bound edge, whereby the leuvesniay be separated from pecicstion of .Tiettcis Patent;

the stub. @ne oit these leaves oit each sheet according to thel use to which the hook is p ,which element is clon-e envoy @with in The .top sheet of the pad is swung; ngi wansily over the carbon sheet l2 yand th c Vplein leaves 7' "and Sith-e ll oi" 1 for tinnsniitting4 the impressions leaf 8' immediately therelieneeth. ln o coiding the transaction the c.,

record on, the, sheet 9 to bc sont tothe office il raten-teer in ioni'.

is coi'bonized throughout its entire rear surM face, 'as indicated at 1:1, the other leaves be? ing?v perfectly plein with the exception printed metter und lines7A not herein shown,

Bound with the sheets by ineens et" the staples 5 and covering' the lee-it 7, a sei rate carbon sheet l2, res shown cleaiiy in Fig. 2. Byusing; e separate carbon sheet instead oi' carbonizing the been of moth?-AMV lcaf there is no of repeating a reco 'l of the trztnsaction indefinitely down 'thi i r the leaves of the peut lSuch e, cons rnc wouldr necessitate the use oit a stop present device. A

f-.ifiv convenient method oit rising this character is substantially il rollen folded down upon itself? so that it assu' i :zigzagposition, as slice/n in Fig. l. en. ing,` the carbon sheet l2 between the tivo el tali upper leef 9 acting" es e, manifoldwords, any transaction recorded. upon tpldedover leafv 9 would be reproduced ngen lthe plain leai Siifninedintely therelieneath owing to the nienifolding in; ,l il., :ind in turn again reproduced upon t-..e lea t i beneath the carbon sheet 0,.

detached from tlie"stub alo separated into separute leem,... lines 6.

lit will be noted troni 'the above desorietion ,that it is unnecessary to bundle carbon sheet l2 at any time, or to touch tin carboiiizcclsurace ll of the sheet 9, thus contributing tothe cleanliness oi'tlie bool;

'and greatly increasing the durability or lile of the carbon sheet which otherwise through constant handling would bccon'ie torn intl 'it wrinkled.

Another `feature of this construction ie the obtaining of tivo plain records ci? the transaction recorded, leaving; the carbonizcol or cashier to be kepton tile. rvThis is especially desirable in the ci sect salcsboolcs used in connection with handlingdrcssn goods,^for example, where a leaf usually' placed withinthe package, which 'if carbon ized might soil the goods.

the scope thereof, Iit is intended that all mat-V4 ter contained in the above description ory shown in the accompanying drawing shall" be interpreted as 'illustrative and not 'in a limiting sense.

Having described my invention, what I claim as nenT and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. In a manifo'lding salesbook, in combination, a plurality of normally extended flat sheets bound together alon one edge, each sheet being divided by wea 4{ening lines into three leaves, one of said leaves being carbonized andfadapted to be folded over to coact with another leaf, separate manifolding means between said second leaf and the third leaf when folded into operative position, whereby the transaction maybe recorded in licate, and a cover bound with said leaves adapted to inclose the sheets.

y2. ln a manifolding salesbook, in combination, a plurality of normally extended.

llat sheets kbound together at lone end form,

ing a stub, each sheet being divided into three leaves, the end leaf being carbonized on its under surface, the' remaining leaves' being plain, said leaves being,r adapted to be folded into zigzag form as used, and a separate carbon sheet bound with the sheets at -the stub adapted to lie between the two lower leaves when folded into operative position whereby a record is recorded in triplicate on the three'deaves.

3. In a manifolding salesbook, in combi nation, a plurality of normally extended fiat sheets bound together at one end forming a stub, each sheet being divided" into three leaves,the end leaf being carbonized on its under surface, the remaining leaves being plain, a separate carbon" sheet bound with the sheets at the stub adapted to lie between momes the. two lower leaves when folded into operntive position whereby a record is recorded in triplicate on the leaf nearest the stub, and means bound at one end by staples with said sheets adapted to forrn a top and bottom cover for said device.

el, in a inanifolding book, in combination, a, plurality of normally extended lat sheets bound together at one end, each sheet being divided into a plurality of parts or leaves .separated by weakening lines, the larger number of parts of said sheets being unearboni'zed on either side and a carbon sheet "bound with .the sheets forming 'the book I recording of each transaction.

6. Y'ln a manifolding book, in combination, a plurality of normally extended fiat sheets bound together at one end, each sheet being divided into leaves, the leaf at thelfree end of each sheet being carbonized yon 'one side and adapted when the leavesare folded in superimposed relation to coact with. another leaf, andacarbon sheet bound with said first mentioned sheets extending; over one of the leaves whereby a plurality of carbon copies arelmade on the sheet in use on the recordin'giof each transaction, the leaf beneath said carbon sheet being plain onv both sides whereby duplicating through to a lower leail is prevented.

In testimony whereof l ailiX my signature, iu the presence of twowitnesses.
